BOZEN, Sud-Tirol, Italy, December 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Robotics today announced that it recently signed an exclusive cooperation agreement for Grifols to significantly contribute to its I.V. Room of the Future Initiative with its Misterium state-of-the-art Clean Room products and I.V. Therapy and Clinical Nutrition scientific knowledge and experience. The agreement also includes the appointment of Grifols' scientific expert Dr. Oriol Prat as an additional member of Health Robotics' Scientific Advisory Board, where he will join representatives of The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ochsner Clinic, Sutter Health, USC University Hospital, and The University of Chicago Medical Center.
"Grifols has designed and constructed more than 1.2 million square feet of clean rooms worldwide and managed more than 150 modular clean room installations at hospitals. After witnessing the outstanding combined results of the joint implementation of Misterium and i.v.STATION at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, I was convinced that global hospitals stand to greatly benefit from the synergies between the respective companies' experience, products, and services within the I.V. Room Technology sector," stated Gaspar DeViedma, Health Robotics' Executive Vice President.
"Among the advantages of Misterium modular clean rooms over conventional construction include their flexible, convenient and fast construction, usually within 2 to 4 weeks, with minimal disruption to the pharmacy's operations, ease of maintenance, GMP compliance, and integrated training tools and workflow analysis," stated Xavier Guix, Vice President of Marketing for Grifols' Hospital System Division.
